The series continues at perennial favorite Gramercy Tavern, where florist Roberta Bendavid creates impressive plant displays. She's been working for the restaurant since before it opened. Hit play above to hear her story, and watch her create the restaurant's towering flower arrangements. 

Here we will bypass the famous chefs, the oft-interviewed restaurateurs and GMs and try to shine a light on the individuals in the restaurant industry who perform their duties outside of the public eye. Meaning the meat smokers, the in-house butchers, the bread bakers, the dim sum chefs, the oyster shuckers, and charcuterie experts.
